Mackenzie (Gloucester)

Hi! I'm an American who recently moved to the UK and I'm looking to meet new people. I'm a 30-something mom to a 2 year old, so meeting once a month is probably best for me. I'm into whodunit murders, psychological thrillers, and historical fiction.

Isla (Stroud)

Hi, I'm keen to join or start a book club and meet other book lovers! I'm also excited by the idea of being introduced to genres I don't usually read. Recently I've been reading Paulo Cognetti and I really enjoyed Ingrid Persaud's Love After Love. I also enjoy reading YA. The only thing I'm not very interested in is detective or crime novels. I'm very happy to host at my house just outside of Stroud.

Anthony (Newent)

Hi my name is Anthony. I’m probably best described as a distracted reader! I enjoy all sorts of genre but I am drawn to that of the 1960s counter culture so authors like Hunter S Thompson, Thomas Pynchon and Kurt Vonnegut. I also enjoy reading non fiction history and biographies especially cycling! Would welcome the added impetus of a book club to help my reading to return to its former level - I will one day finish Joyce’s Ulysses!!

Anthony recommends:

Inherent Vice
by Thomas Pynchon | Learn more and buy
Well I finished it! But the usual mix of rich characters and narrative thread - darkly funny and poignantly observant.
